Chapter Fourteen: New Plans

“We need to find him as soon as we could. Others might begin looking for him, then it'll be bothersome,” The elder sitting on one end of the round table said.

“Yes, we must have him on our side,” replied the beautiful woman sitting opposite of the first elder.

“But I heard that the Congregated Body of Avatars has already dispatched their men,” the pale man with long straight silver hair sitting adjacent to the woman informed them, gaining some looks from the other three.

“That's impossible! We have controlled the spread of information and made this top secret within our association! How could they know?” The elder exclaimed, quite agitated by the new knowledge.

“Hmm... That is true but there is a report that an Avatar was spotted spying around his home this last week. It is also stated that the Avatar caused the burning of the target's house.” The pale man retorted while looking through the report submitted to them.

“Those bastards!” The elder gritted his teeth in anger.

“Calm down Fenrir, it is still under investigation if it is true.” The woman said in her soft voice, trying to calm the angry wolf.

“However, we should assume that the CBA has already knowledge of the hybrid we are going after. That's why we should deploy more agents to capture the hybrid.” The man with bloodshot eyes sitting across the pale one instructed. “Fenrir, ask the neighboring packs to arrange lookouts and spare shifters to search for the hybrid in their respective territories.”, he added.

“Zargosa and Sabrina, order your men to work in shadows to avoid suspicious eyes from the CBA and the government. We can't let them poke their noses in our business,” the two of them responded positively.

“And I'll prepare a team to track down our pet bird.”

More than a week after Aitken left, there have been changes within the Windstom Pack.

After losing some of their memories, the pack went into a short state of calamity but later suggested it was mass hysteria. Since Aitken only erased the memories of him to whoever had that memory, there were no complications to most of the pack members who did not encounter nor interacted with him but there were individuals who suffered the most, it was Alex and Margaux.

Two days after Aitken's departure, Alex and Margaux returned to good old Century Peak after getting checked by the pack doctors. The two kept having episodes of headache if there try remembering the missing person in their memory but the more they try, the more it fades into their subconscious mind until it became a blur and then into a meaningless dream that was completely forgotten.

The life in the pack returned to normal then later but it was short-lived. The Association came a week later informing them about looking out for a dangerous hybrid. There was a strict order from the executives to keep an eye out for the person and remember to report to them if they captured the hybrid.

Alpha Aleister complied with the Association's request to station lookouts in the pack borders and a search team to track down the hybrid within the Windstom territory.

The order was also issued to the neighboring packs but it was mentioned that the operation should be kept in utmost secrecy. Only the Alpha and high-ranking individuals were knowledgeable about the Association's actions. Surprisingly, Alpha Aleister did not report the mass hysteria incident that recently happened.
